Abstract: An electronic display device and corresponding method for providing a user with roster data. The roster data preferably pertains to participants in a plurality of groups, such as sporting teams. The device includes a memory, an input unit having a plurality of keys, a multi-line display, and a processing unit. The team name is selected preferably by initially selecting a home team and visitor team. The processing unit is operative to receive an identifier, e.g., a participant's jersey number, and preferably also the designation of a corresponding team via the input unit, and for retrieving the selected participant's corresponding roster data in response thereto. A multi-line display is adapted for simultaneously displaying the selected participant's identifier and at least a substantial portion of the participant's corresponding roster data. Alternatively, access to the team's schedule information is provided.
